    OMC 140hp with 400 stringer sterndrive lots of questions!

    ON your engine - probably starboard side toward the stern - you should find a metal tag with an ID on it. It could be something like 990245C or more like 140FTHRCIS (depends on the year). You can use that number to determine what the original setup was.

    2013 - 2016 V8 Mustang vs Camaro? Same prices, I love them both

    Old School Mustang. Cheap. Easy to mod. Fast (well ^^^ not that one :ROFLMAO:) Mustang (excluding special editions) has never really been the overall winner of too much. But, generally dollar for pound they're kinda' a good deal for a muscle car. // I kinda' pick muscle cars by year more than...

    To shallow?

    Here in Tennessee, we have pretty rocky lakes. I wouldn't do that here. But other places I've been with softer sandy bottoms, and in still water like that - I'd do that. I'll even beach a boat in the right conditions.

    OMC 140hp with 400 stringer sterndrive lots of questions!

    Welcome aboard. Transom doesn't matter as much with the Stringer. As long as it's not taking on water. '81 should be mechanical shift, so you can use any marine gear lube. You don't need anything particular in it. (Unlike the electric shift)

    Star trek stuff.

    ^ ^ ^ Why I love to watch Galaxy Quest. :LOL: But I still like quite a bit of the Star Trek franchise. There's actually even some good fan-made stuff out there.

    Pinstripe removal tool

    I would think the numbers would just freeze off in Minnesota 🥶🤪

    Pinstripe removal tool

    I've used one one time, and it did really well. I had a large area to do, so it was nice to have. BUT, you still have to go back and clean up a little here and there with ... yup ... heat gun and a razor blade :)

    Vinyl Wrap

    When you adhese the vinyl, you're going to burnish it on to the surface. If the texture is slight, that process should take care of most issues (definitely recommend using a wet technique to install). If the texture of the surface has more defined "features" understand two things: 1) vinyl is...

    javelin bass boat 396XFD

    Can you see where the tank goes? I'm guessing you don't have to cut to access it (I don't think you did on those boats). Quick search on the 396 said 25 gallon tank. But if it'll fit in the space, and won't overload the boat (weight wise) - you can use any marine tank.

    javelin bass boat 396XFD

    Javelin and Stratos used to be made here in Tennessee. I think they were eventually sucked into OMC ... then of course, OMC went away. They haven't been made in a while. You won't find much about the hulls online. Boat manufacturers didn't publish manuals for the boats.

    Docking Aid

    @Audiophobe - I edited your first post. It is against the rules to directly post to a website that sells boating accessories and such. Welcome aboard.

    Stalling after long idle and then starts no problem

    As asked above, let us know what the whole driveline is - Merc, OMC, etc. - that helps us give ideas.

    OD 11 dagger board

    Yes, that's how it would have probably worked. You might try a bungee to hold it in place, but make sure it can travel up if you hit something. Alternatively, consider making or buying a new one. They're not cheap to buy new, but if you're any good with woodworking they're not terribly hard to...
